Emma Goldman
A revolution without dancing is not a revolution worth having.
Emma Goldman
All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.
Emma Goldman
Women need not always keep their mouths shut and their wombs open.
Emma Goldman
The majority cannot reason it has no judgement. It has always placed its destiny in the hands of others it has followed its leaders even into destruction. The mass has always opposed, condemned, and hounded the innovator, the pioneer of a new truth.
Emma Goldman
The benefits brought to the Russian people by Bolshevism exist only on paper painted in glowing colors by Bolshevist propaganda.
Emma Goldman
... if the production of any commodity necessitates the sacrifice of human life, society should do without that commodity, but itcan not do without that life.
